Event-Driven Programming Paradigm in Logic Programing

Question

I need to write a paper on the Event-Driven Programming Paradigm in Logic Programing. I have been able to find a lot of information on Event-Driven Programming in Object-Oriented and Functional programming, but not for Logic programing. I would appreciate some direction in respect to Event-Driven Programming in Logical Programing.

Answer 1

Event-driven programming should be similar to how it is done in other languages, you would set up some framework to generate the events and you would call a goal to handle the event, possibly using the system's multithreading facilities (which leads to interesting aspects of transactions on the Prolog database, global vs. thread-local storage etc.)

Paulo Moura would certainly provide this link to the Logtalk Manual:

• Event-driven programming

Also this paper comes to mind:

• How agents do it in stream logic programming - Matthew M. Huntbach , Nick R. Jennings , Graem A. Ringwood (1995).
